Hello, I am trying to make my Radeon HD 7950 work with Gentoo, but I have some issues compiling the kernel. After doing some research, I found out Radeon HD 7950 is using TAHITI microcode (but I might be wrong, I couldn't find any documentation yet). So I installed latest "x11-drivers/radeon-ucode" (20120320) and I set the following in the kernel config: CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="TAHITI_mc.bin TAHITI_me.bin TAHITI_ce.bin TAHITI_pfp.bin TAHITI_rlc.bin" CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware" When I try to compile the kernel, I am getting the following error message and compile stops: MK_FW firmware/TAHITI_mc.bin.gen.S make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/lib/firmware/TAHITI_mc.bin', needed by `firmware/TAHITI_mc.bin.gen.o'. Stop. make: *** [firmware] Error 2 Is there a fix for this, or at least a temporary workaround? thank you, Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge x11-drivers/radeon-ucode-20120320 2. set the following in the kernel config: CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="TAHITI_mc.bin TAHITI_me.bin TAHITI_ce.bin TAHITI_pfp.bin TAHITI_rlc.bin" CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware" 3. compile kernel (make && make modules_install) Actual Results: When I try to compile the kernel, I am getting the following error message and compile stops: MK_FW firmware/TAHITI_mc.bin.gen.S make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/lib/firmware/TAHITI_mc.bin', needed by `firmware/TAHITI_mc.bin.gen.o'. Stop. make: *** [firmware] Error 2 Expected Results: Compile should finish successfully.

You are missing radeon/ prefix in CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE. See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml for examples. Also make sure that you did not change the CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD from its default. If it still fails, reopen this bug and attach kernel .config .
